    Claiming DHH is a fascist is such a dumb take. The article is vile; claiming DHH died. "'DHH has brain worms' is a fact and valid" - grow up.

    Their EU region was down for 8 hours last November and it took 2 hours before they were aware of it so submitting a ticket is definitively worth while. I'm suspecting their monitor…

    Sure, but if the server is returning 418 by an error it is likely that it would return some other 4xx error instead of 5xx. 418 is irrelevant here, the server is rogue.

    I don't get it. If the system is so broken it is returning some random http code then I don't see how returning some other random http code is better?

    Showing duration is helpful but so is the exact end time. Visually as a user I would like to see the exact time when the appointment ends instead of calculating it in my head. Whil…

    It's not really 2FA even. More like a magic link (which is what we use for verification via email). The customer has no password, just verifies using a code via sms/email.

    It is not but CCC is indicating that this provider was only used for 2FA. Sorry I was getting a bit ahead of myself here, this was earlier exposed as a breach of Twilio's vendor (I…
